- the invention relates to a lid for a can for foodstuff, paint or similar, which lid comprises:
- Such a lid is used for cans, which comprise, for example, milk powder. These cans are filled under low pressure, such that the sealing foil of the lid will bend inside which causes the tab to bend up from the sealing foil. This causes problems during the further handling of such a can. The tab could get stuck between parts of a handling machine or influence the functioning of the machine.
- Such cans could also be sterilized.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a lid for a can for foodstuff, paint or similar, which lid comprises:
- a ringlike base part defining an opening;
- a sealing foil arranged on the base part and covering the opening; said foil comprising
- a peripheral tab for tearing the foil arranged with its free end folded back onto the surface of the foil and
- retaining means for retaining the free end of the tab adjacent the sealing foil.
- Such a lid is used for cans, which comprise, for example, milk powder. These cans are filled under low pressure, such that the sealing foil of the lid will bend inside which causes the tab to bend up from the sealing foil. This causes problems during the further handling of such a can. The tab could get stuck between parts of a handling machine or influence the functioning of the machine.
- Such cans could also be sterilized. As a result of this, the sealing foil puffs up, by which, again, the tab bends away from the sealing foil.
- Currently, this bending of the tab is prevented by glueing the tab to the sealing foil. Such a lid is disclosed in US-A-3 380 622 which described a lid in accordance with the preamble of claim 1. This glueing process has a number of disadvantages. First of all it is an expensive process, which is difficult to control. When the can is used for foodstuff, the glue has to be approved to be used for application in the food industry. Secondly the glue has to fulfil a number of requirements, such as a high temperature stability, especially when the lid is sterilized, as well as a low tearing force, as the sealing foil has to be able to be removed easily. A third disadvantage of the glueing process is that the application of the glue has its speed limitation. The glue has always a rather high viscosity, which restricts the speed of application.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a lid which eleminates the above mentioned disadvantages.
- This object is achieved by a lid according to claim 1, which is characterized in that the retaining means comprises a first retaining part being part of the sealing foil and a second retaining part being part of the tab.
- As both the first and second retaining part are part of respectively the sealing foil and the tab, no additional material has to be added in order to provide the retaining means. A robust connection of the tab to the sealing foil is provided. This prevents bending of the tab, which could influence further handling of the lid.
- According to a preferred embodiment the first and second retaining part have a shape defined connection. So due to the shape of both retaining parts, the connection is accomplished. There is no need for any frictional forces or adhesive such as with a glue connection.
- According to another embodiment of the invention, the first and second retaining parts each comprise a projection which engage with each other.
- Preferably the projections have a substantially T-shaped cross-section.
- By this T-shaped cross-section, both the first and second retaining parts have a shape defined connection. The T-shape of the first part will engage into the T-shape of the other part. Only by deformation of the tab material or the foil material, the connection could be disengaged.
- In yet another preferred embodiment according to the invention the tab and the sealing foil are integral.
- Preferably the tab is connected to the sealing foil, through a recessed or waisted connection portion. This provides a large gripping area on the tab, while the exerted forces are transferred to the sealing foil through a small cross-section, which facilitates tearing of the sealing foil.
- Furthermore, the sealing foil could comprise aluminum foil and/or steel foil.
- The invention relates also to a method for manufacturing a lid according to claim 7, which method comprises the steps of:
- providing a ringlike base part defining an opening;
- cutting a sealing foil out of a length of material;
- providing a peripheral tab with one end folded back onto the surface of the sealing foil;
- associating the sealing foil with the base part;
- pressing a recess with a bottom in both the sealing foil and the tab; and
- abutting the bottoms of the recesses, such that a connection is formed between the tab and the sealing foil.
- By abutting the bottoms of the recesses, the material of these bottoms will flow due to the abutting, such that the thickness of the bottoms will decrease and the area of the bottoms will increase. This will provide a shape defined connection between the lip and the sealing foil.
- In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention the method comprises the step of stamping a profile into the sealing foil. This foil provides for a neat surface of the sealing foil, without any folds.
- Preferably the stamping, pressing and abutting are performed in one stroke. This will provide a very quick way of manufacturing a lid according to the invention.
- These and other features of the invention will be elucidated in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- Figure 1 shows an upper view of a lid according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a bottom view of the lid according to figure 1.
- Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the lid according to figure 1 taken along the line III-III.
- Figures 4A and 4B show two steps of a method according to the invention.
- Figures 5A and 5B show a cross-sectional view of the deformation accomplished with the steps according to figure 4A and figure 4B.
- In figures 1 and 2 a lid 1 according to the invention is shown. This lid comprises a ring-
like base part 2 which defines anopening 3. A sealingfoil 4 is arranged onto the ring-like base part 2 covering the opening 3. The sealingfoil 4 is sealingly arranged to thebase part 2. - Integral with the sealing
foil 4, atab 5 is provided. Thistab 5 is attached to the sealingfoil 4 through aretaining means 6, which resembles a rivet. - In figure 3 a cross-sectional view of the lid according to figure 1 is shown. It can be seen that the ring-
like base part 2 defines anopening 3 onto which the sealingfoil 4 is arranged. Thetab 5 is integral with the sealingfoil 4 and folded back onto the sealingfoil 4. Thetab 5 and thesealing foil 4 are connected byretaining means 6, which consists of a first T-shaped protrusion 7 which is arranged in a second T-shaped protrusion 8. Due to the T-shape the retaining action is accomplished. - In figure 4A a
tool 10 is shown with which a connection of a tab with a sealing foil can be achieved. Thetool 10 has a lower die 11 and anupper die 12. On theupper die 12, a pressingmember 13 is slidingly arranged and put under pressure by a spring 14. - The sealing
foil 4 and thetab 5 are brought onto the lower die 11. The upper die 12 together with the pressingmember 13 is brought down onto the sealingfoil 4 and thetab 5. The pressingmember 13 will contact thetab 5 first through which a protrusion is pressed into the material of the foil and the tab (see figure 5A). After this protrusion is formed into both the sealingfoil 4 and thetab 5, theupper die 12 is brought down further with force, such that thebottoms bottoms bottoms foil 4 and thetab 5. - The tab can only be disconnected from the sealing
foil 4 by deforming the material of thetab 5. As this deformation is visible, this lid according to the invention is also tamper proof.
